Up for my last shave of
Vintage June-kies is the Wilkinson "Pall Mall" which is a fantastic razor to use, fully adjustable including head angle. There is a threaded screw at the back of the head which moves the roller guard back and forth to adjust the aggressiveness of the razor, it also takes a standard GEM blade which is the icing on the cake.
This soap is hanging on for dear life and i will get another shave from it. Today it produced another great lather with the reknotted Culmak Junior.
3 passes for a very close, comfortable, BBS finish.
A nice post shave routine without any indication from the splash.
If this razor was made today it would cost you a couple of grand i recon, it is another manufacturing marvel of its time and i feel so lucky to have it.
Enjoy your day all.
